Looking for a speech sound assessment in Turkish/a Turkish speaking SALT. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

On a scale of 1-10 how sad is it that coming home to personalised smelly stickers for work made v happy after a long week 😂

The latest edition to the speech and language therapy resources I didn't know I needed collection 😂

A little boy came for his therapy session today and had brought me a flower. He thinks I live at the clinic and told me he was so excited to come to Charlotte's house. He was sad I don't have a garden so picked me a flower from his 😭🥰 #mysltday so wholesome 🥹

A mid-week break from work to celebrate my MSc graduation 🎓🎉 6 months into working as an SLT, I can safely say it was worth every second 🥰

Paediatric SLT life would be easier if I could draw 😂

Spot the paediatric SLT. Why is sensory toy shopping so much fun 😂🙈

@Nickcanncfp Thanks so much Nick! Hope you're keeping well x

[Charlotte @CharlotteEmSLT]

Is this real life 🙈🤯 First day as an NQP ticked off the list 😬

Final day of my final placement as part of my MSc 😬 Can't believe how quickly it has gone but I've had an amazing 2 weeks with @WestSuffolkNHS Paediatric Community SLT team 🎉

A slightly overwhelming but very interesting day at The University of Essex Autonomy Project Summer School. So eye opening to gain perspectives from other professionals on the autonomy of complex decision making #mysltday #placement

5 years ago today I graduated with a degree in Linguistics with Spanish, little did I know I'd now be 6 weeks away from finishing my masters degree in Speech and Language Therapy 🎉☺️

A helpful strategy in Aphasia is 'Semantic Mapping'. Thinking of words relating to a given word.

These were the words our group listed for Easter

Can you think of any more ?

Dysarthria affects a person’s ability to verbally communicate.

Communication tips for the speaker with dysarthria:
1. Speak slowly and loudly
2. Use short phrases
3. Take pauses to make sure the listener understands
4. Use gestures, drawing, pictures, writing

[Aphasia_iCafe @AphasiaIcafe]

Dysarthria communication tips for the listener:
1. Limit background noise
2. Watch the person with dysarthria as they talk, it might help understanding
3. Repeat back information to confirm understanding
4. Ask yes or no questions if more clarification is required.
